Chart notes

NUT BUSH CITY stalked the leading pair from the two to three path, moved to the inside entering the lane, rallied to drive past the leader reaching midstretch, drew clear shortly after, shifted out in the final furlong and held sway. AEGIS bobbled subtly and bumped with an inner foe at the start, pursued from midpack along the inside, shifted from the two to four path while building momentum into midstretch, rallied to take aim on the clear leader in the final furlong but was kept at bay then held place. POISE broke a bit outwardly, laid off of the pace in the five to three path into the turn, shifted back to the five path entering the lane, fanned out to the seven path in upper stretch and ran on willingly. DARING MOVE laid off of the pace in the two path then moved up late. BEACH MANDY bumped with an outer rival at the start, set the pace along the inside, dueled with an outer rival while taking the turn in the two path, disposed of that one while moving to the three path entering the lane, but got overhauled by an inner bidder leaving upper stretch and weakened. MIKA'S WAY rushed forward after breaking a bit flat-footed, dueled for the lead with an inner rival while kept in the three path around the turn, yielded while floating wider entering the lane then weakened. TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL tracked from the four path, chased between rivals into the lane and weakened. UNION ROAR trailed in the four path and showed little.
